A Congressman has revealed he thinks there’s a cover-up about alien technology in the US – and said what he knows would keep people up at night.
Representative Tim Burchett spoke to Newsmax this week and said the US government ‘needs to disclose it all’.
‘I’ve been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is, and I’ll just tell you this, if they would release the things that I’ve seen, you would stay up at — you’d be up at night worrying about or — thinking about this stuff,’ he said.
‘I will just tell you this, I was briefed two weeks ago on an issue, and it would’ve set the earth on — this country would’ve come unglued, I think, if they had heard all that I’d heard.’
In February, President Donald Trump said he was going to identify and release government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life.
Those file releases have not yet been made public, and Representative Burchett is pushing for more transparency.
It comes after he supported a whistleblower who alleged the government had evidence of alien spacecraft and was covering it up.
In June 2023, former Department of Defence analyst David Charles Grusch gave an explosive interview to the Debrief, alleging the government had been hiding physical evidence of “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles, and was illegally withholding it from Congress.
‘I think he’s telling the truth,’ said Burchett. ‘I think there’s a lot that’s going to be out there.
‘There are enough witnesses, enough qualified pilots, astronauts, literally heroes of ours, who have come forward about things, and so I think it’s pretty evident that the government is covering up.
‘And the reason we don’t have any of that information now is a lot of it is so compartmentalised that the people that could connect the dots are long gone.’
In late March, scientists revealed that nearly two dozen ‘Earth-like’ planets could be crawling with alien life.

Exoplanets are what scientists call worlds that orbit other stars (though some are ‘rogue planets’ that don’t orbit anything at all).
More than three decades after the first was discovered in 1992, the list of known exoplanets is well over 6,000.
So far, however, none of these planets has life. But scientists in a new paper have made the lives of alien hunters easier by compiling a list of the 45 best candidates for extraterrestrial life.
A conservative estimate, however, is just 24 worlds, or just 0.4% of known exoplanets.
